Maricar Reyes on the best thing about husband Richard Poon: “He is the most unique gift I’ve ever had in my entire life. He really gets into your heart and sees you for who you are. He helps you fix your problems… he’s very positive.” (Where is this man from?)

Richard on Maricar: “I can be confrontational… I don’t really respond well kapag may nagdi-disagree sa akin. I’m still learning to be more graceful—and she has that peaceful strength.” (Is this the same man?)
